illustrationISM is the act of continuously making your
mark upon the world: the art of being aesthetically nimble; employing
the principle of line on your mark. Get, set.....go! No Line on the Horizon - The New

I saw Francisco Chavez' OBIT in The Register Guard and thought
he lead an interesting life - so i decided to illustrate him!
( PLEASE know that these OBIT-ILLY'S are drawn with the intent
to honor the reposed and their full lives.
Please forgive me if it offends anyone,
I am in no way ridiculing the reposed.
I am truly inspired by their lives and accomplishments, so i want to illustrate them.
Nothing macabre, no nefarious reason, i'm
drawn to people who have had noted presence in life. )
